Boko Haram Attack Borno Community, Set Schools Ablaze

Suspected Boko Haram/ISWAP militants have launched yet another brutal assault on several schools in Borno State.

The terrorists on Saturday set ablaze primary and secondary schools in Kautikari village, Chibok local government area of Borno State.

According to security sources quoted by Daily Trust on the development, the attackers invaded the town, which has suffered multiple attacks, around 7pm on Saturday.

Though no casualty was reported, the incident forced residents of the area to flee to nearby bushes.

“No casualty so far, but residents were forced to flee into the bush for safety,” one of the sources said.

A resident also disclosed that this is not the first time the terrorists have attacked the village, but this time around, they destroyed both private and public property.

“I wonder why they set ablaze the Primary School and the Day Secondary School. Such attacks are unusual,” he said.

All efforts to speak to the Borno State Police Public Relations Officer, ASP Nahum Kenneth Daso, were not successful as his phone was unreachable.
